I recommend that you approve the attached Consent Agreement and Final Order (CAFO) for Joseph Adams Corporation to resolve violations regarding the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants for Miscellaneous Organic Chemical Manufacturing at 40 C.F.R. Part 63, Subpart FFFF (?the MON?).
Joseph Adams Corporation operates a manufacturing facility in Valley City, Ohio (the ?Facility?) that processes spices to produce oleoresins. EPA alleged that the Facility was subject to the MON and had failed to comply with all applicable requirements of the MON since May 10, 2008. EPA is concurrently issuing a ACO which requires Joseph Adams to apply for a permit with the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency limiting emissions of individual HAPs to less than 10 tons per year and total HAPs to less than 25 tons per year.
This CAFO requires CAFO which requires Joseph Adams to pay a penalty of $33,500 and resolves the FOV issued to Joseph Adams on December 30, 2015.
